[ Warning : Major spoilers for Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree . ]

That ’s not to say that the final boss ofFromSoftware ’s biggest ever expansionis uncollectible by any means . It delivers a concept that many participant in the fan base have call for for , is as difficult as one would await , and is an amazing spectacle to behold . Still , the net honcho is an amalgamation of two anterior bosses that has come together thanks to a 10000 of complicated reasons , yet it only seems to borrow heavy from one of these bosses , rather of taking as much as potential from both .

Shadow Of The Erdtree Missed An Opportunity With Promised Consort Radahn

The Concept Is One Of The Coolest In Soulsborne History

Thefinal fight inShadow of the Erdtreetakes place when a converted Radahn contend on behalf of Miquella on the latter ’s path to godhood . The Tarnished stands in their way , of form , ready to do struggle with the Starscourge for a 2d time , yet players may remember that the legendary general was previously seen as a cannibalistic zombie roaming a waste . It is revealed that after Radahn and Mohg are killed , the former ’s somebody is put in the latter ’s trunk , result in the boss fight at the end of the elaboration .

Conceptually , this is an awesome approximation , combine two great boss ( and three demi - gods with profound traditional knowledge presence ) together into one mighty enemy , but FromSoftware did n’t do much with this . For the most part , The Promised Consort admit after Radahn . In fact , he calculate almost entirely like Radahn , since he is wear the full general ’s armor , and only has a few of Mohg ’s Omen horns . His face look like Radahn ’s too , lacking the facial horn of the Omen superman , despite it being his organic structure .

Mohg is one of two Omen demigods and the twin brother of Morgott , the Omen King .

Miquella leans over Radahn’s shoulder, whispering in his ear in a screenshot from Elden Ring’s DLC ending.

It seems likethe only affair that channelize from Mohg to this boss are one descent plan of attack and the boss ' size . The Promised Consort version of Radahn is significantly smaller than the Starscourge variation , which is likely a good thing consider how hard it already is to dodge most of his attacks . The mannikin is Mohg ’s sizing , which makes gumption view it ’s mean to be his torso , and yet the party boss look nothing like him . It just seems like an excuse to have the actor fight a physically fit Radahn , rather than properly incorporate the established traditional knowledge .

Elden Ring : Shadow of the Erdtree featured 80 novel bosses , a novel area to search , and plenitude of challenging fight – but it ’s missing this key spell .

Not Enough Of Mohg Was Put Into The Boss' Design

Mohg Is One Of Elden Ring’s Best Bosses

With Mohg ’s status as a all optional genus Bos in a cloistered area and no mien in the CG lagger , he is n’t quite as popular as the Starscourge and was able to oppose the Tarnished at his strongest . contend Radahn in his prime of life was always a cool conception , but this is n’t the enceinte general in his prime . His soul has been put into the body of another while being controlled by someone else , and if the body belongs to Mohg , more of theLord of Bloodshould have made its way into the net gaffer ' moveset .

There are mass of thing that could have been added to make this feel more like an unholy amalgamation between the mighty Radahn and the avid Mohg . During the fight , The Promised Consort will practically wing into the atmosphere while toss away flying rocks at the Tarnished . Mohg has wing , and this could have been used during the move to make Radahn flywithout affecting the mechanics of the fight whatsoever . On top of that , some flare stemma effects could have been bestow and maybe even a classic Nihil ( although this could be a little overkill ) .

Overall , the concluding boss ofElden Ring : Shadow of the Erdtreeis a dynamic , difficult fight that is a visual spectacle , has cool lore implications , and gifts players with an awing opinion of euphoria when it has finally been suppress . That does n’t let off the overlook chance of not having more of Mohg in the combat to reinforce its traditional knowledge . Radahn ’s soul has been put into the Lord of Blood ’s body , and more of him should have been allowed to shine through in this last duel .
